Ever since Sirianni's bloating at Chiefs fans, the Eagles have seemingly fallen apart

Too much attention on Hurts and not enough on the overrated as **** Defense.

yeah, after they drafted those Georgia guys I had about enough about hearing "rich get richer," "They'll be unstoppable" "Baby Rhino" blah blah blah.

They're not the unit they were. Much like many great defenses of years past. Defense is hard to reproduce. It just is.

But nope. Hurts. Signed a big contract (that's all voidable so we can field this defense). **** Hurts. He should be more vocal!

*shrug*

I'm not here to shit on Hurts, but the criticisms have nothing to do with his personality, how the locker room feels about him, or his work ethic. It IS about whether or not he's vocal enough of a leader.

You can be a reportedly quiet guy and be top of the league at just about any other position. That's how it was for Jamaal Charles and Derrick Johnson.

QB is different. Hurts taking a more vocal presence with the team isn't going to make guys play better, but it might tighten up the chemistry a bit. There really isn't anything else that replaces that kind of on-field general you ride into battle with. You can be the greatest leader of a head coach ever, and a QB who does and says the things he needs to in practice and in games is going to trump your presence each and every time. It's just how it is.

Hurts can change that. And you know what? He probably will.
